Come and learn about how a CASA volunteer makes a difference in the lives of children in Foster care. CASA volunteers are assigned by a judge to a child in placement due to parental abuse or neglect. The volunteer learns the needs of the child and advocates for those needs to be met by the system. Cases with CASA advocates spend less time in foster care and are more likely to to be placed in a safe and permanent home. No special background or training is required. Volunteers need to be at least 21 years of age, have their own transportation, and about 5-15 hours per month to devote to the case. Expert training is provided in advance of assignment. To learn about this opportunity, attend a brief information session, Sessions are scheduled for Monday December 5 at 10 AM, Tuesday December 6 at 5 PM, January 9 at 10 AM and January 10 at 5 PM. Each session will last 30-45 minutes. The sessions are held at the office of CASA of Burlington County 100 High Street Suite 301, Mt Holly NJ 08060For more information contact: Harry Cassidy at 609-265-2222 or hcassidy@casamercer.org; or visit our website at www.casamb.org.

I am sorry your other parent is now a stranger & outsider to you. It did not have to be this way after the divorce. You enjoyed a relationship with your other parent until your custodial parent replaced your other parent with a step parent & met NJ residency requirements to refile a divorce complaint. Your custodial parent sought divorce, moved you from the family home, filed bankruptcy included family home ensured your other parent got 100% of debt, so you would be uncomfortable & in an unfamiliar new home that you would not want to visit your other parent at. Your custodial parent stopped your visits, stopped transporting to the meet up location, interfered with your phone calls, filed many police complaints to deny u access so you would be denied opportunies to enjoy a healthy relationship with your other parent. Your custodial parent reminded you that your other parent: does not pay enough, was not there for you, never went to court, mislead to sign unprovisioned document terms, called you to much, yet your other parent never spoke to you during that time, your other parent is absent & forced out of your life. Your custodial parent lied & manipulated your emotions, denied you access to your other parent, destroyed that relationship, exposed you to adult financial disgruntlements, & did not support your other parental relationship. So for the last 2000 days you did not enjoy any encouragement, holidays, summer vacations, weekend visits, Christmas presents, & birthday presents from your other parent because your custodial parent did not support your parental relationship with your other parent. Your memories have been stolen, 5 yrs erased awkward, huh. Maybe you fear rejection from one or both parents, bitter for being duped, you never realized your custodial parent denied you & you never had a choice, you could not have stopped your custodial parent’s behavior; these are issues no kid deal with. If you take one thing from this, you are person not a possession. You have emotional needs that have been neglected. You should not have been your custodial parent’s confidant; you were just a kid. Your custodial parent failed u because u have no memories/relationship with your other parent. Your friends who have divorced parents see both parents, right? You have a voice & you deserve to tell your other parent what a terrible parent they were: they did not take care of you, did not pay enough, left u to deal with the divorce issues, u did not want to be in the middle, did not visit, were never there, wouldnt let minor date adults, did nothing for you, made u attend church, or whatever that other parent’s defect was. After all your other parent didn't attend your events, teach you to ride your bike, swim, hunt, fish, or provide for you prior to/after the divorce, or did they? Your other parent did not show you love at all your whole life, or did they? Who stole your voice? How has your custodial parent's distorted actions & point of view about your other parent affected you? Your silence says a lot why you are unable to answer why you dont want a relationship with your other parent. Even angry kids have reasons. What did this other parent do? Just because your parents are divorced does not mean you must sever your other parent ties; you can love 2 parents. Trust broken is hard to repair. Your deserved to enjoy a relationship with both parents after the divorce. I am sorry your custodi...
